run it through the firewall on the driver side. like down near the steering ****. then take off the little vent on the side of the dash (that toughes the door), so you can see. then just feed it up throught the a-piller. and then drill a hole in the a -pillar to get it into the pod.

Poke a hole through the rubber boot around the steering column.

There is a grommet with room in it to the left (from inside the car) of the steering column that i used for the boost gauge. KDR installed my Profec B and they ran that big boost line (like 1/4" or so) through the steering column boot, so I'd think you'd be able to run wire and lines through there no problem.

if you are doing oil temp, the easiest way is just to build that sender into a new drain plug.
